A father still enraged over his young son’s death more than 35 years ago has vowed to kill the boy’s murderer if he is released several years early from his 40-year sentence, as now scheduled.
Michael Woodmansee, who was a neighbor of the Foreman family, killed Jason Foreman in South Kingstown in 1975 and hid the boy’s shellacked bones in his house for years.
A Department of Correction lawyer said Woodmansee earned time off for good behavior and it can be revoked only if he misbehaves.

Not killing the murderer of a child is not civilization. It’s leftist garbage.
That is the best comment on the thread.
Yep. Birds gotta eat, same as worms.
“Castration often does not work for child molesters.”
It’s never really been tried, so hard to say. I’ve heard many arguments about this before.
“They really, really need killing.”
Perhaps in particularly brutal cases, although the child usually ends up getting killed anyway in such situations. In that case the person can simply be charged with murder and sentenced to death.
FWIW, I find cases involving rapes of boys (as mentioned in OP’s post) particularly repugnant. There’s something about that that bothers me to a greater degree than cases involving girls.
Reasonable? This scumbag not only raped and killed that young boy, but he ate parts of the body and then lacquered the child's bones, which he kept as trophies. People looking for ways to treat such monsters reasonably is exactly why we have so many in our society today.
As a society, in just a few generations, we have gone from a nation that would quickly try, convict and hang such human monsters, to taking years before even trying them. If convicted, they may or may not get the death penalty. If they do, they will sit on death row for decades. And if, at long last, they face the executioner, we wring our collective hands over whether or not the injections are humane.
To paraphrase Shakespeare, the justice system these days is a "tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Obviously this went well above and beyond some Catholic priest fondling an altar boy. The man raped, killed, and cannibalized his victim for goodness sake! Certainly I would never argue for anything but the death penalty when it’s a case this extreme.
The Catch an’ Release bureaucracie has a vested interest in keeping criminals out and about the community, alive, and released. Two year of citizen justice and the crime rate would drop to zero, and the reason for existance of the various bureaucracies.
Any cannibal who eats a man’s son and polishes up the kid’s bones is fair game for aforementioned dad to render aforementioned cannibal into room temperature status.
One joint at a time.
Wrong, since the dawn of man there's been perversion of every stripe.
I suppose back in the day it was reported less but I guarantee it happened just as much.
I wouldn’t announce stuff... it just would be.
Precisely.
In fact, you say just the opposite - - “All is forgiven... Let bygones be bygones... He paid his debt... blah blah blah.”
Then you get rid of him, and don’t get caught.
To honor his son he must avenge the death. It must be in public and known to all. Slinking in the darkness and trying to avoid judgment is an anathema to Dad. Where is the honor of acting like a dog.
I am sure he will be willing to stand in judgment of his peers to accept their verdict. If he does time, I’m sure he will embrace it.
Barretta said, “If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.”
Middle of the desert, bucket of honey, stakes in the ground, hole just deep enough to leave his head exposed, ant hill, rope and this pervert.
The last things he would see is the car driving away and the ant coming toward him.
What he would experience is ants crawling all over his face, up his nose, in his mouth and ears.
His screaming would be the last sounds he would ever hear.
Problem solved.
That said, I never said he shouldn't be executed. He SHOULD be executed, painfully. He should not be let out of prison, except if its in a casket.
Klingons say, "Revenge is a dish best served cold."
Van der Sloot’s sentence is simply incredible.
Sorry, I do not see things that way.
Evil should be hated; doesn’t mean I don’t have compassion for the evildoer, and hope he repents and turns to God; I hope that for every soul.
But evil, if not hated, becomes wishy-washy enablement in the name of forgiveness, which is exactly what we have now.
I’m sure it does not happen as much.
1. Molesters were usually killed when discovered.
2. The culture was not saturated with porn of every description including child porn.
3. Intact families protected children better.
I don’t have links, but having maintained or help maintain the homosexual agenda and moral absolutes ping lists for years, I have read numerous times that castration, either surgical or chemical, does not stop child molesterers. They still have their perverted mind and hands.
Does not cure them, and they themselves admit it. They can sill cause irreperable harm to children.
“1. Molesters were usually killed when discovered.”
Like I said, lynchings and vigilante justice were commonplace before any real law enforcement system existed. It probably happened to all different types of criminals in those days.
“2. The culture was not saturated with porn of every description including child porn.”
True. Porn of any kind was difficult to get before the Internet.
“Does not cure them, and they themselves admit it. They can sill cause irreperable harm to children.”
I dunno; I remember reading somewhere about a molester in prison who got so tired of having those urges that he borrowed a razor blade from a (hesitant) correctional officer, cut off his testicles, and flushed them down the toilet in his cell. And then he said that he felt better and had no urges towards little girls any more.
Wish I could remember where I read that. Take it any way you want to.
